Description

Refreshing in its “let's get down to business" approach, Grammar Workshop's focus is on teaching how to use grammar “tools" (i.e. rules) in writing. The movement of every lesson is to equip the student to write effective (and grammatically correct) sentences. Accordingly, each grade level covers basic sentence construction, parts of speech, and mechanics (capitalization, punctuation, and spelling). Each course has six units divided into 4-12 lessons, with a total of 51 lessons. Each unit concludes with a review, a proofreading exercise, and a short writing assignment.

Student Worktexts are consumable with an accent color. Lessons are straight-forward providing instruction, several practice exercises including editing practice, and ending with sentence composition. These exercises are the gem of the course (in my opinion), and often include sentence combining – a personal favorite of mine for its effectiveness in strengthening sentence construction skills.

Publisher's Description of Grammar Workshop, Tools for Writing Student Edition Grade 5 (Blue Level)

The consumable Student Edition helps students master grade-appropriate conventions of standard English through instruction with models, ample practice, and immediate application of skills. Divided into six units, each level focuses on teaching the conventions of standard English–grammar, usage, and mechanics–as well as, the writing process and grammar in the context of reading and writing. Each lesson has the same three-step instructional sequence:

  • Learn features skill instruction with clear explanations and modeling
  • Practice includes three scaffolded activities, each building on the prior and increasing in difficulty
  • Write lets students apply what they learned by revising sentences, combining sentences, and writing on their own

Engaging new online games and activities will enhance student learning.
